What Is Medical Qigong?

Medical Qigong is the application of Qigong (energy work) for medical purposes. The practitioner assists the patient by redirecting, cleansing, purging, regulating and balancing the patients energies. The practitioner uses various hand movements, breathing techniques and intention to perform the energetic healing process. Often the patient can feel certain things happening in the body, both on a physical and emotional level. Sometimes, the patient simply gets a sense of deep relaxation and well-being. The experience of the treatment will be different for each patient. There are no invasive techniques used. Qigong (pronounced “chee-gung”) is an ancient Chinese holistic practice that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. Rooted deeply in Chinese medicine, martial arts, and philosophy, Qigong is a method that cultivates vital life-force energy known as "Qi" (or “chi”) to promote health, vitality, and inner harmony.

History of Qigong

The origins of Qigong can be traced back over 5,000 years to ancient Chinese society, where it was practiced to maintain health, prevent illness, and extend lifespan. Qigong has been influenced by various aspects of Chinese culture including Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

Throughout its history, Qigong has been developed and refined by countless practitioners. Different schools and traditions of Qigong have arisen over the millennia, each with its own techniques and purposes, ranging from medical and therapeutic practices to martial applications and spiritual development.

Key Principles

• Energy Flow: At the core of Qigong is the belief that a continuous flow of energy, Qi, courses through the body. When this energy is balanced and flows freely, the body is in a state of health. However, blockages or imbalances can lead to disease and emotional disturbances.

• Mindfulness: Qigong emphasizes the power of the mind and its role in shaping our health and well-being. Concentration, intention, and visualization techniques are often used to guide Qi throughout the body.

• Harmonious Movement: Many Qigong practices involve slow, rhythmic, and graceful movements. These motions help in opening the body’s energy pathways, improving flexibility, and promoting relaxation.
